Q. Why is your rope light better than the cheaper rope light on the market?
A. Most other cheaper rope light on the market will last approx 1000Hrs and if sqeezed or bent the wrong way the globes will break deeming it useless. Our rope light is a brand called Duralight which is tm registered. It can be bent and squeezed directly on the globes without breaking the globe. We have tested this by tying a tight not on the rope light and leaving it on for several days with no failure. Other cheaper rope light also discolours in the sun . We have placed a clear ropelight on a palm tree and left it for over 1 year with minimal discolourisation.
